Every Movie Has a Lesson

Don Shanahan

Today, directly echoing the racial tension and divides present in our country, The Birth of a Nation acquires the “timely” badge and earns the difficult processing time it requires of its audiences.

From start to finish “Birth” keeps you locked in and focused. Parker never loses the potency of his subject matter.

Instead of inspiring his audience, Parker's desperation to achieve greatness proves transparent, while the quality of filmmaking does not equal his ambitions.

Whatever one thinks of the messenger, the delivered movie is worthy of attention. It's a film for the here and now, a document that nicely supports the Black Lives Matter movement (and throws shade on the All Lives Matter nonsense).
